Chapter 852: Skewed Sense of Money (2/2)

”I have no idea. Only a select few families possess the method to condense one. All I know is the fact that we have to combine all our laws into it.” Trivar shook his head as he gave a vague answer.

”This is why the Predominated Fruit is incredibly important. Consuming it would make the process of creating your Spiritual Incarnation automatic. Naturally, you still need to comprehend a sufficient number of laws to create a cohesive Spiritual Incarnation. If you don't have enough laws, your Spiritual Incarnation would be incomplete even if you consume the fruit.”

Trivar sighed. ”Nevertheless, obtaining a Predominated Fruit is a D Rank mission. So, you have a general idea on how hard it is to actually get one.”

'Why was it never mentioned to me before?' Krune thought about his friends, shaking his head soon after as he realized it wouldn't have made any difference. As long as he didn't live under a rock and explored the God Realm, he was bound to come across the term.

Also, since it was something that could only be completed in the God Foundation Realm, his friends probably forgot to tell him. When they split, he was only in the Transformation Realm after all.

”How…long will we be traveling? How many teams, including us, will be accompanying the caravan?” Vardin took the chance to ask.

”There will be four teams, including yours. Three are F Rank teams, while the last is an E Rank team,” Trivar responded succinctly.

It wasn't some sort of secret information anyway. The Mercenary Guild had them, and the teams that joined were bound to meet up when they departed. Besides, most of Trivar's trust in Krune came from the fact that he was affiliated with the Spirit Awakener Guild.

He frowned a bit as he looked at the two Silver-Winged Mouses but didn't show a drastic change in emotion on his face. He was a merchant. Money was what dictated his emotions and decisions. He made eye contact with Vardin, speaking with the same tone he used towards Krune, ”The Demon Beasts used by our Pitlook Merchant Caravan can trek for long distances without rest. They can even take flight for a short duration. We use that to navigate around dangerous terrain and reduce our time of travel.”

Speaking about his Demon Beasts brought a look of pride on his face, showing that he valued them greatly. ”With that, despite the treacherous terrain in our route, we would arrive at the Four Sectors' Border Region within six months. Then again, passing through the canyon would take anywhere from 6-10 months. It would depend on the factors such as the environment, bandits, and the movement of the Predominated Vines.”

”That's quite a long journey,” Krune commented, thinking if it would be faster had he traveled on his own. After realizing that he neither had a map of the terrain nor a route to move through the Four Sectors' Border Region, he decided that it was better for him to stay with the caravan. After all, he was in it for the experience and not the destination.

Trivar nodded, misunderstanding that Krune meant that the pay wasn't enough for the journey. He knew that Spirit Awakeners earned a lot. If it wasn't for the fact that he was informed by the Spirit Awakener Guild about the reasons for Krune's travel, he would have rejected his application on the spot, despite the strength Krune displayed.

The life of a Spirit Awakener was valuable. After all, the demand to awaken a weapon's spirit surpassed the supply. If a Spirit Awakener joined his caravan and died along the journey, he wouldn't be able to shoulder the blame. Naturally, he also secretly made arrangements for Yulian to stay within the caravan while not hindering Krune's journey.

”That's why we will be providing you food and a place to stay throughout the journey. The mission conditions only state that you have to take action when the caravan is in danger,” Trivar said.

”That's fine by me.” Krune got up from his seat. ”We'll be there on time when the journey starts.”

”Here's to a fruitful journey.”

Krune, Diana, and Vardin then left the inn, wandering the streets as Krune asked them, ”Do you know anything about Spiritual Incarnations?”

”The Silver Winged Mouses don't have any Spiritual Incarnations. That's why we're weak.” Diana bowed her head, muttering with a soft voice.

”Why…are you heading to the Four Sectors' Border Region in the first place? Aren't you two putting your lives at risk?” Krune wondered.

”We're after the mission reward,” Diana said as she thought about all that God Stones.

”We have something to do in the Four Sectors' Border Region. But traveling there on our own would cost a lot.” Vardin smiled bitterly as he continued, ”A place to stay, food to eat, and a reward of 1000 Rank One God Stones upon completing the mission. We cannot ask for anything better.”

Seeing their happy smiles at the mere mention of 1000 Rank One God Stones, Krune had realized for the first time in the God Realm that...

His sense of money was already skewed.
